Finally saw Shin Godzilla (aka Godzilla Resurgence), the new Japanese Godzilla from last year. I'm blown away. Did not expect it to be the best Godzilla film since the 1954 original, possibly even better than that classic, but it is. Every other Godzilla movie from Japan (the two US ones are obviously exceptions) has assumed the 1954 film as a starting point, but this one is full-on reboot. New Godzilla (the biggest, scariest, and most powerful to date), new origin story (radioactive waste rather than nuclear weapons), even a somewhat different feel. At the same time, it pays homage to its predecessor with some scenes clearly based on scenes from the 1954 and some of the music (esp. the theme) lifted straight out of the original's score. Also takes a different tack from the original in storytelling by focussing on the Japanese (and later other countries', esp. the US) government struggling to deal with the disaster being wrought by the unknown monster in Tokyo Bay. It is tense and occasionally brilliantly satirical as it examines the bureaucratic and political panic that ensues, while the hero is a young bureaucrat whose willingness to buck protocol and think outside the box is what eventually finds a solution to stopping Godzilla. I think even someone who wasn't a longtime fan of Godzilla like I am would probably get something out of it.
And to Legendary and Sony, the studios behind the new American kaiju universe that began with the 2014 Godzilla and continued this year with Kong : Skull Island: Watch this movie and learn. This is how to make a kaiju movie. The 2014 movie was good, Shin Godzilla is probably going to be a genre classic.

I went to see "Maudie" with a friend last evening. Based on a real life character, a painter in a rural area of Nova Scotia - but filmed in Newfoundland. I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of the acting and directing. Characterization was excellent. Poor, abused Maudie cheerfully making the best of whatever life offered, and sticking up for herself when the need arose. (ie when her husband refused to drive her to visit a sick relative, she announced, "Then I'll walk." and she did.) And her husband, a fisherman, neglected as a child, solitary as an adult until he met Maudie, he has no idea how to show affection.
This movie is very poppular in the Maritimes. Has it received much attention in the rest of Canada?

Tonight we watched A Streetcat Named Bob - British 2016 biodrama following the life of a young man, methadone user, who is befriended by a cat who changes his life. Based on a true story, and a book was actually written about Bob & his man, then came the movie. Heartwarming.
His counsellor in the movie - Val - was so familiar but I couldn't place her - so just looked her up - Joanne Froggatt - who was a lady's maid in Downtown Abbey, which I watched for several seasons.

Saw it here in Toronto. Great acting. Weak storyline.
Is weak ... like humble and something one must dig with spades?
Totally un biblical for the literal fundus that that ignore the part about justice, mercy, humility of god and all that chit!
One has to deal with this with some abstract sense ... an indeterminate state of dark ... relative to unorthodox study to see what the depth of the myth means ... all of those off track of the one-way rules!
Anything out of their rules in the eternal world is thus denied ... a strange love indeed!
For those not understanding ... remember you didn't wish to know as a' priori!

Funnily enough, I could say the same about Woody Allen's Cafe Society. Mrs. M and I just watched it. Quite meh on it in the end, though it gets better towards the end. The main cast (Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart, and Steve Carrell) are terrific and the writing is good (but not great) Allen. However I found the story was kind of lifeless for an Allen movie and could see at least two better stories in there. At the very least, a movie about Steve Carrell's character, a high-flying Hollywood agent in the thirties torn between his wife (who does not actually appear in the movie for some reason) and his mistress (Stewart) and what happens when his nephew (Eisenberg) gets involved with the mistress would have made a classic Allen movie. As it stands, that story only occupies half the movie, focusses on Eisenberg rather than Carrell, and in the movie as a whole, Carrell barely appears enough to qualify as a supporting actor in spite of being the best of the bunch in this one.
Great cast wasted. Eisenberg was good in The Social Game.
No. However, I have read online that he was miscast.
just watched this on Netflix - stand up comedy and strong personal and political commentary. It was excellent.

Haven't watched a movie for a while - but last night saw Little Pink House - and it is excellent. Timely too - to see big money influencing politics (I know you're shocked about that!!) and the horrible effect on the 'working poor'. Highly recommend it.
Based on a true story - here is the storyline copied from another site - A small-town nurse named Susette Kelo emerges as the reluctant leader of her working-class neighbors in their struggle to save their homes from political and corporate interests bent on seizing the land and handing it over to Pfizer Corporation. Susette's battle goes all the way to the US Supreme Court and the controversial 5-4 decision in Kelo vs. City of New London gave government officials the power to bulldoze a neighborhood for the benefit of a multibillion-dollar corporation. The decision outraged Americans across the political spectrum, and that passion fueled reforms that helped curb eminent domain abuse. Written by Courtney Balaker

Enjoyed the local film club's pick last week - Hearts Beat Loud. "Father Daughter Unwittingly Create a Band". Father reminded me of the Dave character on vinyl cafe a bit.
